LITTLE ROCK, Ark.

The American Red Cross says a number of shelters will remain open in central Arkansas after an ice and snowstorm ripped through the state on Christmas Day and left tens of thousands of people without power.

Officials on Saturday say several shelters will remain open overnight until power is restored.

The shelters are located at the Dunbar Community Center in Little Rock, Summit Arena in Hot Springs, the North Little Rock Community Center in North Little Rock, the Jacksonville Community Center in Jacksonville and the Poyen Assembly of God Church in Grant County.

A shelter at the Bishop Park Community Center in Bryant has closed, but residents in need of shelter nearby can head to the Northside Church of Christ in Benton.
